In Buddhist philosophy, the only constant is change—as illustrated beautifully by the cards of the Major Arcana. The Majors are said to represent the different stages in the evolution of consciousness, from the Fool depicting birth/inception (of, say, an idea, project, person, or relationship) to the World signifying completion, fulfillment, mastery—or even enlightenment. This process shows up throughout different spiritual traditions and is also sometimes called “the hero’s journey.” Meanwhile, the Minors depict the cycles of said evolution. Seen this way, the message in every card, Major or Minor, carries an invitation to step into and participate with the evolutionary process of being human. Not all of which was ever going to be easy, rewarding, or pretty.
